Virtual Job Fair Comes to Our Region
Fox Valley Workforce Development Board, Inc.
First of Its Kind Virtual Job Fair Comes to Our Region
May 6; Now Seeking Free Employer Registrations
Regional workforce partners have announced the opening of employer registrations for the
first-ever virtual job fair in the Fox Valley Workforce Development Area.
The event will be held completely online from 9-11 am, Thursday, May 6, 2021. Registration is absolutely free at
https://tinyurl.com/3kr7fb5r .
This virtual spring hiring event will be conducted through the Premier Virtual platform, a
leading provider of online job fairs and conferences. Employers can create their very own booth
space to include logos, videos and links to recruiting materials. The day of the virtual fair, each
employer will have the opportunity to interact with (hopefully) hundreds of job seekers, review
resumes and even conduct an interview. Besides the safety and convenience of a virtual job fair,
the platform allows the disabled, such as amputees or veterans with service disabilities, to
participate with equanimity in the workforce system.
“The COVID-19 pandemic means that more people than ever are seeking work, but the
continued risks of face-to-face contact makes an in-person job fair unfeasible at this point,” said

Anthony Snyder, CEO of the Fox Valley Workforce Development Board (FVWDB), one of the
event sponsors. “Plus, as more and more vaccines get into the arms of our local residents, the
economy is ready for a big rebound and employers remain challenged in finding all the labor
they need.”
Other partners involved in the planning of the event include Wisconsin Department of
Workforce Development, Fox Valley Technical College and Moraine Park Technical College
Although official the Fox Valley Workforce Development Area includes the six counties of
Calumet, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Waupaca, Waushara and Winnebago, the virtual nature of
the fair means the scope of the employers and the job seekers will be from across the NEW
North Region.
